For site owners
CouponsDigitalBot
The crawler Coupons.digital uses to keep discount codes on this site accurate and current.
What it reads
Retailers' public homepage and promotion pages (for example /gutscheine or /promo-codes), and store pages of established coupon publishers. It keeps only codes a page explicitly presents, with their stated end date, so shoppers see codes that actually exist.
How it behaves
- It identifies itself as
CouponsDigitalBotin the user agent and never disguises itself as a browser. - It follows robots.txt, including rules addressed to
CouponsDigitalBot. - It requests pages slowly — seconds apart per site — and does not log in or submit forms.
- It never clicks "show code" or affiliate links, so it creates no clicks or sessions in your analytics or partner programmes.
- If your site answers
